Parameter	Description
Processor Retest	Clears the processors’ historical status and resets all
	processors during the next bootup. Options include Yes
	and No.
Processor Speed	The processor speed is the speed at which a
Settings	microprocessor executes instructions. Clock speeds are
	expressed in megahertz (MHz), with 1 MHz being equal
	to 1 million cycles per second. The faster the clock, the
	more instructions the CPU can execute per second.
Processor 1/2/3/4	ID number of the selected processor
CPUID
Processor 1/2/3/4	Cache size of the selected processor
L2/L3 Cache
Hyper-threading	Enables or disables the hyperthreading function of the
Technology	processor.
	When enabled, one physical processor acts as two logical
	processors by "threading" two sets of data instructions
	in parallel streams for processing. The processor can
	then simultaneously manage incoming data from
	different applications without losing track of the data
	processing status of each.
